We were so excited to attend the New Spirit Village ribbon-cutting last week! ?? New Spirit Village is a creative re-thinking on the development of affordable housing, serving as a prototype for building affordable communities, using a land trust model designed to create opportunity for a way out of multi-generational poverty for fire survivor families. A huge thank you to Barry and Kathryn Thalden, ACCESS, Proud Ground, Oregon Housing & Community Services (OHCS) and all the community partners who helped make this instrumental project happen, and thank you to Representative Pam Marsh and Governor?Kotek for your role in supporting this project. Attend the open house on Saturday, August 17th from 1pm - 5pm to see the homes and learn more! ??
